I wonder why this GFX genre for a simulator game icon was so popular. I always saw this type of gfx on twitter and front page but still don’t know why it started and what makes it special that people turn this into a meme (not internet meme, but this meme Meme - Wikipedia)

What do you mean by “GFX”

I don’t see any GFX in that icon

#3

it’s just an example not really serious

just see front page and twitter you know what I mean

and it’s for game icon not for game thumbnail

Alright it solved now

so Nanda000 explain how those genre got popular and why it used by many people

it was started by SoftGB and I5k and people see it eye catching and the process aint that hard
since simulator mostly targeted towards kids those bright and happy themed color make them curious

people now copy the formula and use them as a ez marketing
